    So i have noticed that I have some rubbing, or grinding on the drivers side sometimes when I am going down hills and the brakes are hot. Happens maybe once a week or maybe even less, only when going down steep hills or long stretches of downhill driving. I thought it was just the dust guard or something minor but everything looks ok, its not bent. Its not a heavy grinding noise just slight rubbing in rhythm with the tire spinning, as i slow down the noise slows, as i speed up the noise does too. The pads look ok, and its only on one side. do you think it is a sticky caliper? anything i can try? thanks in advance.

    Stock wheels? My Ultra 146's grinded on the calipers because the offset was wrong.
